An Interview with Michael Stackpole

If you’re a fan of BattleTech or Star Wars novels, then you’ve no doubt heard of author Michael Stackpole. Since the late 1980s, Stackpole has been an integral part of the BattleTech and Star Wars universes, which is probably why he’s still attending fandom conventions all over the country. In fact, he will be appearing at the upcoming Phoenix ComiCon, which is being held May 27 – 30, 2010 at the The Phoenix Convention Center in Arizona (USA). The good folks at Phoenix ComiCon were nice enough to set up an interview with Stackpole on Alltern8′s behalf, in anticipation of his appearance at the convention. In the interview below, Stackpole discusses his past with FASA and Jordan Weisman, his upcoming projects, and some of his convention experiences.
